Surface spintronics enhanced photo-catalytic hydrogen evolution: Mechanisms, strategies, challenges and future

A chemical theory of topological insulators

“…More specifically, these systems are especially useful in lowenergy consumption electronics 15 , molecular-based spintronics 16 , next-generation solar cells 17 , quantum computing 18 , photonics 19 , novel organometallics 20 , and many more. Most recently, the conducting surface states of TIs have also attracted attention because they could play the role of an electron reservoir that enhances the catalytic properties of TI-supported noble metals [22][23][24]33,34 .…”

Chiral Resolution of a Mn3+ Spin Crossover Complex

“…This generates a magnetic field that splits the spin orientations of the mobile electron, producing a spin polarization that can be detected when the electron arrives at the surface. The spin filtering efficiency is closely related to helical pitch and length and the effect has also been implicated in catalytic electron transfer reactions on surfaces of photocatalysts which have been appended with chiral molecules . The CISS effect demonstrates that a mobile electron spin can sense the environment of the chiral diamagnetic medium through which it moves.…”
